Seven people
secluded in a Pennsylvania farmhouse face relentless attacks by reanimated
corpses seeking to eat their flesh. The group, which includes a married
couple and their daughter, a pair of young lovers, and an African American
man, try to keep their sanity as the living dead try endlessly to enter
the house until they are laid to rest by burning or a severe blow to the
head. As they listen to news reports of the zombie plague taking over the
eastern United States, the ever-decreasing band of survivors loses ground
in their battle to both keep peace with one another and stay alive.
